is this the end of everything?
STRAIA
or is it just a new way to bleed?
She gives them time to gather themselves before she calls to them. Straia stays in Nerine long enough to help those that need it, healing them or simply whisking them back to Pangea if they request. When the Pangeans have cleared out of Nerine, Straia disappears, appearing again in Pangea.
It has been flooded and iced over, though Straia really wonders what the small force of Northerners thought they were accomplishing by destroying a wasteland. The children had been fine, playing in the water where it was safe.
Standing atop one of the canyons, Straia looks down at the raging river. It takes more magic than she likes to use at any time, but slowly, she drains much of the water into the earth, melting at least some of the ice with it. She leaves some of the damage. It could be cleared, but why bother? The desert landscape of Pangea could use a bit more water and so long as it was habitable and safe enough, she did not care what it looked like.
It is only then, after the worst of things has been cleaned up, that she calls to them. Not aloud, as she had in Nerine, but a brush of magic against those that call Pangea home, a request from their new leader.
She waits until they have gathered, curious to see who will stay here even without Ghaul. Hopefully she has at least begun to earn their respect during the battle with Nerine, but she knows they do not have a reason to be loyal to her. Nothing but the words of the boy offering her a throne. What a different world this Beqanna has become.
”You fought bravely,” she begins, ”Pangea stands strong with you to support her. You should be proud of all you have done. Now that Beqanna has been set on alert, now that the fire has done it’s work, we can begin to rebuild. We can, together, shape the world into something far better. Most of you are too young to know the Beqanna of old, but I can show you.”
Around her, she paints Beqanna as it once was. She shows them all of it, let’s them feel the flow of magic that once lived in each land. It is but a taste, though she hopes it will help them understand what she seeks to create. ”That Beqanna is gone, but we can rebuild something akin to it, something even better than what it once was. Your ideas are welcome.”
Then, sobering slightly, she turns her attention, looking for @[Anaxarete], assuming the shadow mare will be here somewhere. ”There will be time enough for the future though. For now, recover, enjoy well deserved rest. I also believe Ana has some things to add.” She will let the shadow mare address the matter of Ghaul. After all, she had been the one to find him, and in life, she had been the one to stand by his side far longer than Straia.

Activity check/kingdom meeting, so if you are sticking around Pangea please reply! Short replies are fine
Please let Ana post first though so she can talk about Ghaul.
